I decided to start over with archery. I never received much instruction. Today, I did a lesson with an archery coach. She never assumes anything. She had me shoot a LH and RH recurve. I am right handed, left eye dominate. My right eye is very weak...it has a weak eye muscle which gets better if...

SB50 party is a distance memory (not). Need an excuse to get through the rest of the SB50 party food and drink? February 8th is Chinese New Year, Year of the Monkey...perhaps our friend on here can tell us what that means...hint, hint. February 9th is Fat Tuesday Party on...a Broncos SB50 win...

Rather than post this on Aaron\'s thread. This may help others who wish to switch from caliper to a hook release. Hook Release wrist strap tips: [list] Adjust the buckle strap so there is very little give when pulling on it. If needed, punch another hole in the strap.[/*:m:31r3undx] Adjust the...

Many thanks to all BTO members who gave their time to mentor us in our quest to punch our elk tags. My thanks includes the new elk hunters. You asked questions that I never thought to ask. Looking forward to hearing the stories. Both successful and unsuccessful hunts. Unsuccessful hunts...

Does anyone have any spare Tyvek? I had a full sheet of polycryo to make my ground sheet for my new tent BA Copper Spur 2UL. Unfortunately, the full size polycryo was too narrow by 12\". I need a piece of Tyvek 90\"x52\". I would pay for postage. If everyone is busy, I can wait on it until...

I have a Bench that holds elk for all of September. It rarely has hunters because access is hell. 80% of the approaches to the bench are extremely steep with talus (rock field) crossings. The only easy slope access is a very long trek, but still has some talus to cross. The fastest access is...

I damaged my fastset glue\'s applicator, so I had to use other glue in my archery box that is probably 3 years old: Bohning fletch-tite platinum It is horrible. It flows like water and has way too big a hole in the applicator. At least they are only practice arrows where I was experimenting...

I recently did a service check for my 1998 Honda Civic Hatchback manual transmission with 176,000 miles. I told the shop about a hard to get into reverse issue and an occasional shuddering while driving. If you ever had a car with a carburetor, it acts a little like a stuck carburetor which I...

For CO, check cotrip.org for road conditions and construction. You may download a phone app. CPW just issued a press release of a major construction project for Hwy 9 Summit County to Kremmling. As some may know, the BLM land there is a major winter concentration area, therefore, animal hits...

Today, I shot at a walking range with very steep slopes. Most of the ground was dirt with pea gravel. Slopes were 15-25 degrees. Fortunately, my hunting area does not have pea gravel on the ground. I had a lot of trouble keeping my downhill foot in place when I drew my bow back. I don\'t...

Since I have no tracking experience, I have wondered if I should hunt when it is raining? I have hunted in morning and evening rain. My advanced bowhunting class did a mock blood trail for us to follow. Last season, an elk hunting veteran showed me in the woods how to look around to find...
